Business Details
Your Trusted Psychologist in Torrance, CA
As a dedicated psychologist, I have devoted my career to helping individuals overcome psychological challenges through evidence-based approaches. My journey began with a deep fascination for the human psyche, leading me to pursue a doctoral degree and work at a VA hospital in Puerto Rico, where I gained invaluable experience treating veterans with chronic pain. This experience inspired advanced training at Stanford's renowned pain management clinic, where I discovered Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a transformative method that accelerates psychological healing. I have since integrated ISTDP with other evidence-based techniques, offering personalized 90-minute sessions that allow for deeper emotional processing and lasting results.My practice addresses a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, and relationship difficulties, while emphasizing the importance of tailored care. I also provide family coaching and teletherapy services to support clients across California, ensuring accessibility and flexibility. My commitment to continuous learning and client-centered care remains unwavering, as I strive to empower individuals to achieve emotional well-being and personal growth.

ISTDP Therapy
ISTDP Therapy accelerates psychological healing by addressing repressed emotions and dismantling destructive defense mechanisms. This evidence-based method, developed by Dr. Habib Davanloo, fosters lasting emotional transformation through 90-minute sessions that enable deeper processing of unresolved feelings and intrapsychic conflicts.
Insomnia Treatment
Insomnia Treatment combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) with mindfulness, biofeedback, and hypnotherapy to resolve sleep disruptions. Tailored interventions address trauma-related emotional complexes, ensuring improved sleep quality and long-term relief for clients adhering to treatment plans.
Family Coaching
Family Coaching supports loved ones of individuals with addictions, using CRAFT training and ISTDP to enhance motivation for help, reduce compulsive behaviors, and maintain emotional stability. This approach fosters healthier interactions and sustainable recovery outcomes.
